The Princess and the Pope

And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

New kicks

The Pope got a new set of kicks. Actually, they are Sure Step SMOs...(Supra Malleolar Orthosis). Pope has been receiving physical therapy since he came home last year. He has severe hypotonia which causes his joints to seem super loose. While the physical therapy has helped tremendously, the Pope's feet just don't seem to be improving on their own. He feet pronate and he continues to drag his toes. This is not good for someone with a visual impairment as it's increasing his frequency of trips and falls. So the decision was made to get braces. Honestly, they seem to help a lot. The Pope's feet are nice and straight and you can barely see the braces when Pope is wearing his shoes.
